The Cask Wine & Spirits Store to Open on Pico

The Cask: Wine & Spirits

There's no surer sign of gentrification than a classy-looking wine shop moving into your neighborhood. The Kosher Corridor, which has been booming with new restaurants these past couple of years (most recently Komodo; before that, Twenty Six by Shiloh), is getting a wine and spirits store.

The Cask will open on the 8600 block of Pico Boulevard, right next to Schwartz Bakery and just a few doors down from modish furniture store Blueprint, which recently relocated from its Beverly Boulevard digs. When? Why? What will it sell? Who's behind it? Sorry, no details... yet. We're working on it.

Remarkably uptight staff for a new store with a lot of local competition. I saw this new store in my neighborhood, and decided to stop in. I found an interesting rum that I wanted to try that was around $15.00.

I get to the counter and want to pay by credit card, clerk asks for my ID, and then refuses to sell to me because my ID is expired (I'm 45). Now I could understand this if I was 22 or was buying a $190 bottle of scotch... but I'm bought booze with this ID and my credit card at  just about every liquor store west of Fairfax.

I have never had a clerk give me 'tude about my ID, even at stores in high crime areas, like along venice blvd, or chain stores with strict termination policies in regards to under age sales (such as Walgreen's, Ralphs, BevMo).

If you want a good selection without an attitude, try one of the other much more friendly merchants in our neighborhood such as Bargain City, Vendome, or Beverly Hills liquor.
